Please contact Janice Marsters at 808.371.8504 with any questions. Person completing form: Department: __________________ Name: _______________________________ Telephone: __________________ Email: _______________________________

CATEGORY 1 - GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

1. Perform facility inspections on a regular basis to ensure good housekeeping practices are being properly

implemented.

2. Minimize water use in washing activities and avoid runoff of soapy water to storm drainage system or

water bodies.

3. Sweep or vacuum facility floors and paved areas regularly to prevent tracking of materials and sediment

that could become entrained in storm water.

4. Inform contractors conducting work at the Facility of COM policies and include appropriate provisions

in their contracts to implement proper BMPs.

5. Check grounds for spills or leaks from vehicular traffic and/or refuse bins. Apply absorbents and sweep

up immediately after indentifying spills. Do not hose down oil spots or other spills.

6. Store oily or leaking equipment under cover with drip pans. Empty, clean, and replace drip pans as

needed.

7. Prevent non-storm water discharges into the storm drains using drainage controls such as dikes, berms,

retaining walls, curbing, weirs, booms, other barriers, diversion ponds, sumps, collection systems, absorbent materials, and/or storm drain covers.

Page 28: County Department Responsibility Matrix

CATEGORY 2 - MATERIAL STORAGE AND USE

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

1. Adequately train employees who handle chemicals and potentially hazardous materials.

2. Identify chemical substances used at the facility, compile Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for each chemical

product, and store SDSs where chemicals are used. Maintain an accurate inventory of materials and/or chemicals that are stored or used at the site

3. Use hazardous materials only where and when needed to complete a task.

4. Use less hazardous, alternative materials where possible, such as citrus-based cleaning products rather

than petroleum-based cleaning products.

5. Store materials in their original or appropriate containers as recommended by the manufacturer, and

ensure products and materials are properly labeled.

6. Close, securely fasten, and neatly store all containers.

7. Use up existing products and materials before purchasing or opening additional containers of the same

kind.

8. Follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding uses, protective equipment, ventilation, flammability, and

mixing of chemicals. Do not store incompatible chemicals next to each other.

9. Store reactive, ignitable, or flammable materials in compliance with the appropriate fire codes.

10. Place fuel drums or chemical storage containers and batteries on spill containment pallets or other type

of secondary containment.

11. Store potential contaminants indoors or under cover, when possible, to minimize their contact with

storm water.

12. Use drainage controls in uncovered areas where stockpile erosion or contaminated runoff can occur.

13. Inspect storage areas regularly. Look for leaking or corroded containers, chemical discoloration, or

other changes in the containers or contents that may indicate a potentially hazardous condition or deterioration.

14. Maintain an ample supply of spill clean-up materials near storage areas.

15. Clean small spills with rags or absorbent material, and properly dispose of any contaminated spill materials. For larger spills, contact spill response personnel immediately.

16. Do not clean out brushes or rinse paint containers into the dirt, street, gutter, storm drain, or stream.

“Paint out” brushes as much as possible. Rinse water-based paints to the sanitary sewer. Dispose of excess oil based paints or lead-containing paints and sludge as hazardous waste.

17. Properly dispose of materials that are expired or no longer used. If the container is deteriorating,

properly transfer materials to a new container or dispose of entire container in a manner that meets all laws related to disposal.

18. Dispose of wastes properly. See Waste Management BMP.

CATEGORY 2 - MATERIAL STORAGE AND USE

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

1. Adequately train employees who handle chemicals and potentially hazardous materials.

2. Identify chemical substances used at the facility, compile Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for each chemical

product, and store SDSs where chemicals are used. Maintain an accurate inventory of materials and/or chemicals that are stored or used at the site

3. Use hazardous materials only where and when needed to complete a task.

4. Use less hazardous, alternative materials where possible, such as citrus-based cleaning products rather

than petroleum-based cleaning products.

5. Store materials in their original or appropriate containers as recommended by the manufacturer, and

ensure products and materials are properly labeled.

6. Close, securely fasten, and neatly store all containers.

7. Use up existing products and materials before purchasing or opening additional containers of the same

kind.

8. Follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding uses, protective equipment, ventilation, flammability, and

mixing of chemicals. Do not store incompatible chemicals next to each other.

9. Store reactive, ignitable, or flammable materials in compliance with the appropriate fire codes.

10. Place fuel drums or chemical storage containers and batteries on spill containment pallets or other type

of secondary containment.

11. Store potential contaminants indoors or under cover, when possible, to minimize their contact with

storm water.

12. Use drainage controls in uncovered areas where stockpile erosion or contaminated runoff can occur.

13. Inspect storage areas regularly. Look for leaking or corroded containers, chemical discoloration, or

other changes in the containers or contents that may indicate a potentially hazardous condition or deterioration.

14. Maintain an ample supply of spill clean-up materials near storage areas.

15. Clean small spills with rags or absorbent material, and properly dispose of any contaminated spill materials. For larger spills, contact spill response personnel immediately.

16. Do not clean out brushes or rinse paint containers into the dirt, street, gutter, storm drain, or stream.

“Paint out” brushes as much as possible. Rinse water-based paints to the sanitary sewer. Dispose of excess oil based paints or lead-containing paints and sludge as hazardous waste.

17. Properly dispose of materials that are expired or no longer used. If the container is deteriorating,

properly transfer materials to a new container or dispose of entire container in a manner that meets all laws related to disposal.

18. Dispose of wastes properly. See Waste Management BMP.

Page 39: County Department Responsibility Matrix

CATEGORY 3 - WASTE MANAGEMENT

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

Page 42: County Department Responsibility Matrix

CATEGORY 5 - WASHING AND MAINTENANCE OF COUNTY VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

1. Wash vehicles and equipment in designated areas away from storm drain inlets.

2. Use vehicle wash racks whenever practical. Ensure that rinse water from wash racks and sinks does

not drain to the storm drainage system. Connect sinks and floor drains to the sanitary sewer system.

3. Prohibit washing and repair of personal vehicles at County facilities.

4. Maintain County vehicles in good operating condition, and routinely check vehicles for fluid leaks.

5. Conduct repair and maintenance of vehicles or equipment under cover whenever possible, to prevent

contact of the storm water runoff with the maintenance operations.

Page 43: County Department Responsibility Matrix

CATEGORY 6 - GROUNDS MAINTENANCE

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

Irrigation Management

1. Use automatic timers to minimize runoff of irrigation water, where practical.

2. Slowly or pulse irrigate to prevent runoff and then only irrigate as much as is needed.

3. Do not irrigate during or immediately following a rainstorm event.

4. Turn sprinkler heads away from paved areas such as driveways. Water should be applied to

landscaped areas only.

5. Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water is being applied and

that excessive runoff is not occurring. Repair any leaks observed.

Vegetation and Lawn Management

6. Inspect landscaping equipment before it is unloaded or loaded onto the trucks to ensure that the

majority of sediment and green waste has been removed.

7. Protect and minimize bare and disturbed areas.

8. Use gravel, seed, sod, mulch, or other erosion control measures on exposed soils.

9. Plant trees and other vegetation that require little water.

10. Ideal sites for grass seeding are areas with full exposure to the sun, areas that have good drainage and

are reasonably fertile.

11. Fertilizers should be worked into the soil rather than dumped or broadcast onto the surface.

12. Sweep paved areas if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before applying irrigation water.

13. Mowing patterns should be routinely alternated to avoid ruts and compaction from the wheels. Avoid

driving on wet ground where ruts will remain.

14. Conduct grass recycling by mulching the grass clippings into the lawn when mowing. The grass

clippings will decompose quickly and release nutrients back into the lawn.

Page 44: County Department Responsibility Matrix

CATEGORY 6 - GROUNDS MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)

Y/N/NA Best Management Practices

Weed Control

15. Whenever possible, use mechanical methods of vegetation removal (e.g., weed trimmers, or hand

cutting) rather than applying herbicides.

16. The preferred methods for removing weedy plants are as follows:

Manual removal by cutting, digging, or pulling. Shading out by increasing the number of plants or planting over the weedy species. Timed mowing. Carefully timed mowing before seed set can effectively reduce weed seed

sources. Mulching. Mulching around the base of plantings is widely accepted as a horticultural practice for

water conservation, soil temperature moderation, soil fertility, and weed control. In most instances, composted wood chips, organic compost, or onsite recycle leaf litter are adequate materials. Mulch should be placed around the plantings at a depth of 2 to 4 inches. Replace mulch every two years or as needed.

17. Avoid loosening the soil when conducting vegetation removal, which could lead to erosion. Use

mulch or other erosion control measures when soils are exposed.

Pesticide Management

18. Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, and disposal of

fertilizers and pesticides.

19. Purchase only the amount of pesticide that can be reasonably used in a given period of time.

20. Use pesticides only when there is a visible pest problem and not as a preventative measure.

21. Do not apply fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides before it rains or in high wind.

22. Prepare the minimum amount of pesticide needed for the job and use the lowest rate that will

effectively control the pest.

23. Do not over-apply fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. Prepare only the amount needed. Follow the

recommended usage instructions from the manufacturers. Over-application is expensive and harmful to the environment.

24. Apply surface dressings in several smaller applications, as opposed to one large application to allow

time for infiltration and to avoid excess material being carried off-site by runoff.

25. Do not mix or prepare pesticides for application near storm drains.

26. Triple rinse containers and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused pesticide as a hazardous

waste.

27. Train personnel who use pesticides in proper use. The State Department of Agriculture, Pesticides

Branch, licenses pesticide dealers, certifies pesticide applicators, and conducts onsite inspections.
